One of my favorite things about our current home is the complete absence of carpet! It’s something that I dreamt of for years in our last few apartments.
Naturally, I’ve become obsessed with hardwood floor cleaners and mops, and this Bona cleaner is the best I’ve tried yet! It doesn’t leave behind streaks, and the mop itself glides beautifully across my wood floors. I’ve tried a handful of other mops before, and this one somehow pushes better. Even the microfiber cloth it comes with picks up almost everything throughout my whole house in one go!
Microfiber cleaning pads use static electricity to trap dirt, particles, and other household allergens. Something I’ve learned over the years is to never use fabric softeners on them and to air dry them so they stay effective. I also prefer to wash my microfiber cloths and pads separately from the rest of our clothes and have a special hamper for them in my garage.
To keep my wood floors clean, I use my Dyson cordless vacuum almost every day and my Bona spray mop every few days. For spot cleaning, I use a microfiber cloth to scrub away sticky messes. This general cleaning schedule helps me manage the crazy messes a family of 4 can make on the daily.

Here are some of my favorite tip takeaways from Bona’s website:
- When you’re using a mop, remember that water and wood don’t mix! Avoid putting excess liquid on your floor. Lightly misting your floor with a hardwood floor cleaner will be enough to give it a great clean.
- A gentle touch is one of the best ways to clean hardwood flooring.
- If your vacuum has a beater bar, make sure it doesn’t hit the bar floor.
